Heh. Who needs to watch video games when there are birds of prey flying around! I watched one fly for a good ten minutes, and found myself swaying as the bird changed direction, imagining that I was one with them. It was a really cool moment. I also saw a kestrel standing in a driveway on my way home from an errand. Was it the same kestrel? Could have been...

Golden Eyes
Ever wonder where Ian Fleming came up with the name GoldenEye for a James Bond story? It certainly didn’t come from rock pigeons (Columba livia), but looking at this portrait, the movie title drifts into mind all the same.
If you're a fan of stunning dove imagery, be sure to explore my photo gallery for a collection of beautiful snapshots that capture their elegance and charm.

Good morning. ⏰📅🌎
10 September 2026
I’ve been retired from the military for over 26 years now. It’s strange how fast that time has gone by. I spent 30 years in uniform, and back then it felt like a lifetime — which, I suppose, it was. The passage of time just seemed different then, even though it was still the same old 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year… except for leap years, of course.
Hmm… who came up with leap years?
Whoa — that took a turn I wasn’t expecting.Leap years were introduced in 45 B.C. as part of a major overhaul of the Roman calendar. Julius Caesar — dictator of Rome and not exactly known for subtlety — consulted with astronomers and set the year at 365 days and 6 hours. To account for those extra hours, he simply added a bonus day every four years. Clean, simple, Roman.
But the Julian calendar wasn’t perfect. It assumed the year was 365.25 days long, and over centuries that tiny difference added up. So in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar — the one we use today. His astronomers calculated the year more precisely at 365.2425 days. Pretty clever for people working 2,000 years ago without computers, satellites, or even decent lighting.
To fix the drift, they added a rule: any year ending in “00” is not a leap year unless it’s divisible by 400. I didn’t know that until this morning, and trying to think through the math makes my head hurt.
Anyway, as I started out saying, time seems to slip by faster than it used to. It reminds me of an old movie scene where the seasons change in rapid succession beneath an opaque calendar flipping through the months — a visual metaphor for how quickly life moves when you’re not paying attention.
“Time moves slowly but passes quickly.” – Alice Walker
“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” – Heraclitus

🐦 NEW: Myrtle #warblers banded in #Alaska carried Tic Tac-sized geolocator backpacks that logged light and air pressure for a year.
The #data from recaptured #birds showed an eastward loop across Canadian boreal #forest to the #GulfCoast, a nearly 11,000 km (6,800 mi) round-trip likely tracing an ancient post-glacial expansion.
